Free Preventive Care Coming

摘要

Starting Sept. 1, DoD will waive copayments for TRICARE beneficiaries under age 65 for screenings for colorectal, breast, cervical, and prostate cancer. Immunizations and well-child visits for children under age 6 also will be free of any copayments.rnThe hope is that encouraging greater use of preventive services will lead to earlier detection and treatment of certain conditions. This should result in reduced reliance on high-cost treatments and help beneficiaries live healthier and longer lives.
